Applicants with a VET qualification

If you’re currently in Year 12, we expect you to achieve WACE by the end of the year.

If you’re not currently in Year 12, and don’t yet meet English competency, please apply to us with your Certificate IV and we will evaluate your application individually.

If your Diploma or Advanced Diploma is in the same subject area as the course you wish to study at ECU, you may be eligible for credit, or advanced standing. You can apply for this after you accept your offer into the course.

Note: Applying is different to enrolling. If your application for a course is successful and you accept our offer of a place, you then enrol by selecting your course units.

If you:

aren’t a current year 12 student expecting an ATAR; and

meet or are likely to meet English competency requirements for undergraduate or University Preparation courses

All other applicants

You can apply direct to us. Before you start your application, make sure you've made scanned copies of school or other study results and the components of your portfolio if you’re using our Portfolio Pathway.

What happens after you’ve applied?

After your application is processed and if you're successful:

We send you an Offer Letter for a place at ECU. This will be an Offer or a Conditional Offer (you must meet the conditions of your offer), and includes course details, fees to pay and more.

You complete the online acceptance and pay the ‘Fees payable now’. This includes your first semester course fees and Overseas Student Health Cover. You can accept and pay by going to the Respond to your offer page.

Once you've successfully accepted your offer to study at ECU, and we've confirmed receipt of the required fees, we'll issue a Confirmation of Enrolment. If required, this document allows you to apply for a student visa to study in Australia.

Once the above steps are complete, we welcome you as an official ECU student. You should then review our pre-departure information, attend orientation and enrol in your study units.
